Our Approach

The Willie Ross School for the Deaf provides a comprehensive educational program stressing academic excellence that focuses on the development of students’ intellectual, social and emotional growth. The school fosters appreciation of the dignity of every individual and acceptance of the many cultures within our society.

Willie Ross School offers a program that encourages development of the necessary combination of academic strengths, social skills and general preparation for successful participation in society upon the completion of studies. This goal is accomplished through the dual-campus model, which offers an immersion approach (deaf and hard-of-hearing students learning together) and inclusion (academic and community mainstreaming – deaf and hearing students learning together).
